I've got galeon-2.0.5-1.fc9.x86_64 too and I see same behaviour. Quite nasty after using galeon for so many years. :/ It seems this is known, from /usr/share/doc/galeon-2.0.5/NEWS: 2.0.5 "1 step forward, 2 steps back" - Works with Firefox 1.5.x and xulrunner 1.8.x - Compiles with xulrunner 1.9, but a lot of functionality is disabled due to being no longer exposed by xulrunner (or not working) - MyPortal - User stylesheets - Remembering passwords - http authentication Would have been nice to see this mentioned in the release notes. As a quick band-aid fix, downgrade to the Fedora 8 version of Galeon worked for me. Remove xulrunner, yelp, firefox, epiphany, galeon (and maybe other dependencies), and install galeon and firefox from Fedora 8 updates. Well this sucks. Galeon 2.0.6 has been released. I don't know, if this problem has been fixed, but may be some yes. I have a 2.0.6 src rpm ready, after much configure.in hackage as usual. I'll put this up here for testing before I submit it, simply because I can't really see any significant improvement. Let me know what you guys think. http://www.poolshark.org/src/galeon-2.0.6-1.fc9.src.rpm Still same problems. :-( Just a tip for those who want to use http auth with this galeon. You can use this URL: http://login:password@hostname/... It works, but your password is displayed in URL. If your password is not very secret, then it's a way. :-) Just for your information: flash and other plugins are not loaded with your package of galeon-2.0.6, older versions are without problems. It is still trying to redirect me to flash installation site. Upstream released new version:
2.0.7 "Surprise!"
- Works with Firefox 2/3 and Xulrunner 1.8/1.9
- Restored support for http authentication by Mike Hommey <mh>
- Restored support for remembering passwords.
- Partially restored support for user stylesheets.
- Effect is global rather than per page but UI doesn't reflect this.
May be printing will still not work.
Thank you! Authentication works for me. There are still problems with: - printing - it's hard to add exception for unknown https sites galeon-2.0.7-1.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/galeon-2.0.7-1.fc9 galeon-2.0.7-1.fc9 has been pushed to the Fedora 9 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update galeon'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F9/FEDORA-2008-8478 galeon-2.0.7-1.fc9 has been pushed to the Fedora 9 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
